      Sweet 17

      Ex-CUSE me! I count 'couldn't ' as one syllable(my poetic license is fully paid up and has only one endorsement). And the zzzs have none . Ergo 17 . Not that it matters as long as you got a giggle!

        OK, mate

        Bird, 17 'tis. But I'm notifying the Poetic License Police to launch an investigation.
        Cheers! and ciao.

      No Sis , you weren't around. Truth to tell, neither was SS for most of the conversation it seems. It WAS very funny.

      You can't be objective!

      Since when you weren't crashed out over your computer you were supposed to be collaborating on this. When are you going to post our first 'masterpiece?!' LOL !

      Actually I really hope people DO get the wrong idea. It would be a feather in my cap and a nail in the coffin of 'Windhoverman' s arch-rival and nemisis - THE SILVER SPECTRE ! ( Cue the 'dan de-de-dan dan-daaaan music)

      I should have dedicated it to the chatterbox and all the fun it can be.
